Legends of Chima: Wild Lands

Chapter 3 Book of the First Phoenixes.

 The next day, Laval called everyone and went with Lavertus to Sir Fangar. Li'ella stayed in the city to help her father, and also to find out about the book of the First Phoenixes. Lagravis, as always, ruled the tribe and kept order. Now the 8 Heroes of Chima with the ShadoWind on speedorz rode through the jungle to the Gorge of Eternal Depth.

- So Sir Bucky knows something about this so-called Under Realm? - Worriz asked.

- Not much from what Stealthor said. He heard about some book of the First Phoenixes, which depicts a bridge leading to the Under Realm. Laval replied. - Li'ella will learn more from her father.

- Personally, I do not really believe this Saber-toothed after the previous war. - added Cragger.

- I, too. We have a very tense relationship with him because of Li'ella, but we still respect each other as friends and former foes. - said Prince Lions.

- At least we need to know something about this Book of the First Phoenixes. It should contain the answers to our dreams. - supposed Eris.

The heroes drove through the jungle and approached the Gorge of Eternal Depth. There were cliffs and shallow canyons all around, and a stone road was laid on the ground. After five minutes drive, the 8 Heroes with the ShadoWind drove to the Hunter's fortress. The fortress is built of stone and ice bricks, as are its walls and towers. Thanks to the cold coming from the gorge, the castle did not melt. The fortress now consisted of four small castles from each Hunter tribe.

The warriors drove into the castle grounds. Near the entrance stood Fangar with Mottrot, two vultures, and Ice Bears leader Icebite. He looked at Bladvic and growled angrily, getting the same answer in return. The warriors stopped in front of the entrance.

- Finally you have arrived. I thought that you arrive here in the evening. - Fangar joked.

- And what is Ice Bear doing here? - angrily asked Bladvic.

- None of your business, Brown. - answered Icebite.

- Let's not quarrel, and discuss what prompted them to come together. - reassured Fangar.

Everyone agreed and headed inside the castle. The leader of the Hunters led them into the main hall and ordered some saber-toothed tigers to find the Phoenix books. Vardy, Maula and Mungus were already seated in the main hall.

- Bro! - Rogon happy and ran to the Mungus.

- Bro! - answered Mungus and gave five, which made the Rhino's hand hurt a little.

The warriors took their seats and waited for the tigers with books. Everyone started chatting with each other. Bladvic and Icebite constantly looked at each other with hateful glances and wanted to pile on each other's sides, but restrained themselves. Rogon and Gorzan played with Mungus and Mottrot, Eris communicated with Vardy, Razar tried to steal something, Laval and Cragger chatted, but sometimes in the direction of Fangar, who was looking at the lion with a certain envy and hatred.

Li'ella at this time sat at home and waited for her father from the market. In the morning, her father promised to tell her everything he knows about the Book of the First Phoenixes. The lioness herself has not heard anything about this book. After five minutes of reflection, the door of the house opened and Tormak appeared on the threshold with his things. Li'ella came over and helped her father by taking the basket. Both began to dismantle the baskets, taking out food, clothing and other goods.

- Dad, tell me about this Book. You promised. - asked him lioness, putting vegetables in a box.

- I don't remember much about her, but Fluminox said that this book was written by the four First Phoenixes, born of the sun. Their flames were bright golden, and the Phoenixes themselves called them Golden. They traveled all over Chima and even flew outside of it. In order to somehow connect Chima and the Under Realm, they created a bridge connecting them, and wrote a book, which talks about the location of this bridge. - said Tormak. - I also remember that one of the disciples of the First Phoenixes named Fluntor read it, and it was forbidden, and went to the Under Realm. The first Phoenixes hid it somewhere in Chima, and they themselves disappeared, but did not return to the Sun.
